As we all know, after the completion of new product design, enterprises will choose to make a prototype to see the effect, mainly to test whether the design of the product meets the requirements of use. CNC metal prototype processing materials mainly include aluminum, aluminum alloy, stainless steel, red copper, brass, steel, etc., of which aluminum alloy is widely used in hand processing. So let's talk about the advantages and processing technology of aluminum alloy prototype.
Advantages of aluminum alloy prototype.
1. Aluminum alloy prototype not only has the characteristics of light weight and good strength, but also has a good effect in appearance after oxidation.
2. Aluminum alloy has low density but high strength, close to or exceeds high-quality steel, good plasticity, can be processed into various profiles, has excellent electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance, and is widely used in industry, second only to steel.
The aluminum alloy prototype can accurately reflect the information expressed in the drawing, and the surface quality of the CNC prototype is very high, especially after the completion of surface spraying and silk screen printing, even more brilliant than the products produced after mold opening
Processing technology of aluminum alloy prototype.
Programming: Write processing programs according to the 3D drawings provided by customers.
2. CNC machining: through CNC machining equipment, according to the program written by the programmer to process, the material is gonged out of the prototype of the product.
Sanding: The prototype that has just been processed from the machine will have many knife marks and leather edges on the surface, which need to be sanded with sandpaper.
Sandblasting: Spray a layer of sand grain effect on the surface of the prototype to make the prototype look more high-grade and more perfect.
Oxidation: Oxidation reaction occurs on the surface of the prototype to form a film, making it difficult to scratch the product.
Quality inspection: The aluminum alloy box prototype can be packaged and shipped after being inspected by the QC department without problems.
The above is the introduction of the aluminum alloy prototype, I hope it will be helpful to everyone. Most enterprises will choose CNC prototype in the choice of prototype, aluminum alloy prototype as a kind of CNC prototype, there are many advantages of CNC prototype, plus the advantages of aluminum alloy itself, is a good choice.
